                [Intro]
Em   Bm   D   Am
................

[Verse]
 Em                                           Bm
Something's living here beside us, hovering around this place
  D                                                           Am
Something's breathing up the air, something's filling up the empty space
Em                        Bm 
..It's the honesty hiding,...in the words we never say
D                             Am 
..Standing in the dark crying,...trying not to fade away

[Refrain]
   C                                          Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud
                          Em                                D  
But if we don't break it down, it's the silence that will drown us out
   Am                                          C                                   Em                                               
Through the noise, it's been getting hard to hear your voice, it is such a lonely sound
                     D                                        Bm       C 
Gotta find a way to turn it down, it's the silence that will drown us out

[Interlude]
Em   Bm          D   Am
....Drown us out........

[Verse]
      Em                                              Bm
Everyday's a distant friend and the night is like an enemy
   D                                                    Am  
 the stranger in this bed or is the stranger lying next to me
Em                             Bm
..I've been giving just enough,...having promised you the best of me
D                           Am
..Just a shadow of our love,...that's not what we need

[Refrain]
    C                                    Am    
I know right it's too hard to say these things out loud
                          Em                                D     
But if we don't break it down, it's the silence that will drown us out
  Am                               
Through the noise, it's been getting hard to
  C                                   Em
Hear your voice, it is such a lonely sound
                      D  
Gotta find a way to turn it down
                            Bm       C  
It's the silence that will drown us out

[Bridge]
C                        D 
I can feel the water's rising now
 Bm                       C 
What you're holding onto let it out
 C                     D 
Even if the sky comes falling down
Bm                      C 
Falling down, falling down
C                       D  
I can feel the water's rising now
 Bm                            C   
What you're holding back just let it out
 Am                    D
Even if the sky comes falling down
 Bm                    Em
Falling down, falling down

[Refrain]
   C              D                          Bm             C
